If a member meets the requirements for JPSU with a high risk MEL and request to go to JPSU, but still can work daily. Can JPSU deny your request? Can the members CO deny the request? I assume an CO can deny the request, does that happen often?

This might be an obvious answer to this but, ref ILP, Ill and injured, I assume that is referring to JPSU members?

No doubt there is some awesome soldiers out there who have outstanding future in the CAF. In my career I have seen some outstanding soldiers get promoted fast only to fall hard, because of not being prepared, not being exposed. An example of this, one of my closest friends has an MCpl with a...

Garb811,   You are right about the assumption about the Member showing me the PDR and PER, I also showed them mine, actually I finished above that member, except with more time in rank. We both thought it was a joke and laughed at it. The conversation was about how a person received PDR's with...

To get some of the reports, the MIR staff may direct you to the Med Records section and fill out a form to get it. You have the right to request to see the medical unit BSurg. He or she will look into your medical file and address any issues you have. The BSurge is ultimately the lead medical...

My frustration with the PER process or the fairness continues. I seen a new Sgt (3 months in rank) with half of that on Sick leave received a high ready on their PER. One bubble short of an MOI. How is that possible? I always knew that most of the system was a "who you know" system for some...

Yup, I agree with you. Health Care from province to province can be hard for a moving family. I applaud this initiative, I hope it help solves many issues CAF Mbrs face with postings. It's better late or never!!

Today, the Minister of National Defence introduced a new initiative on helping Military Families. One of the issues used in the article was driver's licence. I may be missing something but getting a driver's license is not very hard to get...

I asked one of the RSM's at the mess today about what is the max a Mbr can ask for a Change of COS Date. Apparently, there is no min or max time frame a Mbr could ask for. Nor is there any direction/ order/ policy indicating it. I didn't challenge him on this, but is this accurate? So a Mbr can...

Can one Grievance a Policy? Especially if it a very vague Policy?

This question may already be posted, but I am on my phone away from home and this thing is slow! Can a CO be an IA (Initial Authority) if the CO was apart of the decision process that one is grieving? Wouldn't the CO be considered as being biased?

Sorry, my daughter hit the wrong on me! The application, admission fee is covered once successfully completed

No, they will not pay fir it up front. Like mention before, when submitting your ILP you should include those costs. Once you successfully complete the course you would be reimbursed. However, I am not sure about "an assessment fee". Hope that helps

I think I understand now! ILP will only cover certain things relevant to the course / program. Some of the things they will not cover is Parking, Buying a PC, Transportation. I could give you more detailed list tomorrow, as I am not at work currently. They will cover most fee's associated...

You are right about Compassionate Posting, but it is opposite pertaining to Compassioante Status. Ref Compassionate Posting, there does not have to be a position in their Mosid available. See the Grievance below...

Yes, you do have to complete the course with a passing grade in order to be reimbursed. A good rule of thumb is to ask for more than what everything costs. You will only get back what you paid, but there is always some unexpected cost such as a increase cost from a proctor/ invigilator!

Speaking of compassionate posting, My bet is that most pers are not aware that, if you ask for a compassionate posting with or without compassionate status, you do not require to have an empty position available at that current rank! Also, I should mention that, Base social workers treat all...

My unit most Snr NCO seems to think that the complaint should go thru the CO, who is obligated to send it to his superior. Just to clarify, the complaint does not go through the CO/RO but directly to his supervisor?

I totally agree with you! It will be hard balance the needs of the service with the demands from personnel. And yes, there should be an effort made, it's better than nothing at all!

I am a Harassment Advisor/ WRA. In the past couple months, I have received couple of complaints or questions on how to proceed. I have look in the HA Policy, but I didn't see the answer I was looking for. If an Harassment Complaint was launched against an CO (who is the RO), Does the complaint...
